Thank you everyone for the good wishes. I was up at six this morning getting organized for this new adventure. I'm very much looking forward to serving the people of Burnaby-Douglas and helping Jack Layton scrutinize every move Harper makes. Thanks so much to the campaign staff and volunteers - you made the difference!

Strange happenings at Seton Villa seniors' home. We were told the Villa would host a public debate as reported by the Burnaby Newsleader. But when we arrived tonight the event was closed to the public and about 20 people shut out due to "security concerns". We also found out the Conservative Ronald Leung - who is dodging debates - is also on the board of directors for the home.
